Subject: [PATCH 7/8] x86, xsave: add support for non-lazy xstates
Non-lazy xstates are, as the name suggests, extended states that cannot
be saved or restored lazily. The state for AMDs LWP feature is a
non-lazy state.
This patch adds support for this kind of xstates. If any such states are
present and supported on the running system, they will always be enabled
in xstate_mask so that they are always restored in switch_to. Also, all
processes will always have to have a xstate area preallocated, lazy
allocation will not work when non-lazy states are present.
v2:
A single static xsave area just for init is not enough, since there are
more user processes that are directly spawned by kernel threads. Add a
call to a new arch-specific function to flush_old_exec(), which will in
turn call fpu_alloc() to allocate the xsave area if necessary.
v3:
The new xsave area has to be cleared to avoid xrstor errors.
v4:
Add Kconfig option to disable support for non-lazy states.

+ ---help---
+ Non-lazy extended process states differ from other extended
+ process states (such as FPU and SIMD states) in that they
+ cannot be saved or restored lazily. The state for AMDs
+ Lightweight Profiling (LWP) is currently the only such state.
+
+ On systems that support non-lazy states, the kernel has to
+ pre-allocate the extended state buffer for each user task.
+ This implies that tasks that do not use the FPU or any SIMD
+ optimizations will still use about 1kB of kernel memory for
+ the extended state buffer.
+
+ If this is unacceptable for your workload, say N to disable
+ all support for non-lazy extended states.
